Yea , a lot of rippers out there in the wild.Thanks for the tips on AVIDEMUX and VIDEOCUT,hard to keep up on this stuff sometimes..What disto you using fon ?

I'm using OpenSuSE for quite a while now (since 10.0 I believe) and just recently switched to the current 11.2 version. I had to reinstall the system anyways because of a pretty complete hardware upgrade. I've tried some other distros, but somehow didn't like them as much. Naah, PCLinuxOS was fine!

YES!
Google Chrome has finally been released for Linux. The browser is still in BETA, but that's pretty stable considering our software is always in Alpha , right?
Anyway, I'm going to be trying this browser for about at least a week. Firefox, goodbye for now I will miss you...

I'll keep using Firefox (or Iceweasel, as it is called in Debian) for a while.

I've had it for a week or so, and so far I've had no reason to switch ( or to choose between it or midori or kazhackase ).
I'm inclined to wait for it to ripen ( or become integrated with Android ).
Mind you , I see no show stoppers yet,just no reason to change just yet.
Windows or Mac users may have a different story tho.

I've tried Chrome just for some minutes today, but didn't find anything special about it and it wasn't faster than firefox on my machine. Sooo... no real reason for a change for me. It's already gone from my hd again...

" At least one that pays attention " ooooooooh I DO try.
As we're on about browsers.....give MIDORI a boo folks..netscape plug-ins , extentions ,built-in advertisement blocker ( an effective one at that, no "quote" buttons) evidently scriptable (LONG list of scripts ) and when I managed to crash it ,on restart it returned me HERE !
I think *I* am going to have fun with this, despite it being in development (sorry Timmy)...

I find the speed advantages of Chrome over FF are more than negated by its lack of (true) adblocking. Venturing to some sites without the sweet protection of AdBlock+ can only be described as horrifying...

SRWare Iron is a Chromium build that is claimed to remove all the privacy invasive stuff that Google puts into that browser. It's worth a look, although I admit I'm currently using Chromium instead since Iron development lags a bit behind.
